Waiting for a Chance.
It is a dangerous thing to wait
for opportunities qntil it becomes
a habit. Eifergy and inclination
for hard work, ooze out in the
waiting. Opportunity becomes in
visible to those who are doing
nothing, or looking somewhere else
for it: It is the great worker, the
man who is alert for chances that
see them.
Same, people become so oppor
tunity-blind that they cannot see
chances anywhere they would
pass through a gold mine without
noticing anything precious while
others will find opportunities in
the most barren and out" of the
way places. Bunynn found op
portunity in Bedford jail to write
the greatest allegory in the world
on the untwisted paper that had
been used to cork his bottles of
milk. A Thpodore Parker or a
Lucy Stone sees an opportunity
to go to c6llege in a chance to
pick berries. One boy Jsees an
opening to his ambition in a
chance to chop wocd, wait on
table, or run errands, where an
other sees no chance at all. One
sees an opportunity to get an edu
cation in the odds and ends of
time, evenings and half holidays,
which another throws away. O.

Enjoy the Gold Weather.
Caretakers at Mount Washing
ton Cemetery have found active
employment recently in' attempts
to force attention upon the swans
and Chinese geese that so grace
fully rippled ,the waters of the
lake last summer. All attempts
to confine them in protected
quarters have failed, and the
birds are spending the winter in
the open, regardless of the weath
er. When freezing weather came
they were ''roundefd up" in homes.
As soon as the caretakers were
gone they escaped and returned to
the water. All efforts' to recon
cile them to dwelling indoors have
since failed. Except in the se
verest weather they kert the water
open by swimming about and dis
turbing the surface day and
night. When the mercury sank
below zero they were no longer
able to prevent their playground
from freezing, and to avoid be
coming fast were compelled to
scramble for the ice during the
night, and opening about twenty
feet in diameter being broken out
for,them each day. f
Both geese and swans, protlct
themselves from the cold by bury
ing their feet in their features
and hiding their heads underheir
wings'. Rolled into a ball, they
lie on the ice apparently lifeless
throughout the night, but are
none the worse for the exposure

King a Law Breaker.
Madrid, March 3. King Al
fonso's automobile was recently
damaged by an electric car, and a
suit was instituted against the
railway company for damages.
The case was tried and it was that
the automobile was to blame.
Acting upon various information,
the mayor formulated! an indict
ment, that the king's automobile
habitually disregarded and violat
ed the speed regulations, did not
carry the distinguishing tablet
required by law, and never paid
the automobile tax.
It is stated that the govenment
is indignant because of the
mayor's action and has hinted
that he had better resign. He re
fuses to do, on the ground that it
is his duty to eiorce the law, to
which the king is amendable as
anybody else

Some Swallowing Done.
Did Jonah swallow the whale or
did the whale swallow Jonah?
Once upon a time, it is said, this
question was put to a small boy
in Sunday school, and the answer
was that while Jie could not dis
tinctly remember which swal
lowed the other he was positively
sure that between the two there
was some huge swallowing done.
If any one can tell us which
really did the swallowing in this
case, maybe he can also tell us
whether the Democratic party in
North Carolina has swallowed the
Prohibitionists or the Prohibition
party the Democrats. Like the
Sunday school boy, we are posi
tively certain that between the
two some magnificent swallowing
has been done. Waxhaw Enterprise
He Claims the Macadamized Reads are
Neglected and the Law Parti? Enforced.
OTraingp'ord, N. C, March '6,
We gnotice an article in last
Watchman from Bro, Lee con
cerning the public roads,, thei
condition and how thev are wor
'i .... vi-r-.
ea. it's an object of much con
sideration and every road working-citizen
and tax' payer.;. in
Rowan county ought to look more
closely into this matter as Lee
has suggested. Now, as to Provi
dence township, we can say ? that
some of our roads are alright, es
pecially the main road running
through this section, but that's
not all. Let us see how they are
worked. True, we could not ask
theCommissioners to give us
mote macadamized road just at
this time and place, because we
feel that we have our share for
awhile, therefore we are not dis
cussing the question of macadam
ized roads somuch as we are the
working of said roads. It does
seem that the people of Rowan 1
county are of as many different
classes of people as olcl Babylon.
All pay tax perhaps, and a few
work. We notice' that 75 Afftf.s
out of the poll taxgoes to roads.
theu we have to work four days in
a yew, so they say. Where does
thisVroad tax co? ; In Salisburv
.township;, we suppose, asBjjb, Lee
ays.
We don't object Jto paying tax
and w&, don't object" to working
the road if necessary, -but let all
work the road or none, If I live
on. a . muddy joad and have to
work itteTje ;mw divls On
a macadamized, road work it too.
We see, as soon as the chain gang
works up a road that is about all
thatToad gets in a, long time. Is
this right Is it right for me to
pay tax and work the road and
my brother neighbor pay tax and
is excused from working the road?
We would be glad if some one
would explain. this. We say it's
unfair and claim that it would be
better if all the roads were work
ed by taxation. This would bring
everybody upon an equal basis
and none should grumble.
If it 's law to make a man work
the road let the law make every
man work.
Hoping that some one will re
spond. We close by wishing the
Watchman much success.

No Oration to Stoessel.
St. Petersburg, March 1.
Lieutenant General Stossel ar
rived in St. Petersburg this morn-
ng from Moscow. When the
tram steamed into the depot
many hundreds of people, espec
ially women, crowded on the
platform. War Minister Sakha
roffand Admiral Zilotti, on be
half of the abmiralty, welcomed
General Stossel, who was loudly
choered and presented with flow
ers. After receiving the, personal
congratulations of friends, the
general looking bronzed and in
good health, traversed the cheer
ing crowd to a reception room,
stopping now and then to shake
hands with admirers . Behind the
general came Mme. Stoessel, lean
ing on the arm of a military offi
cer, bhe looked to be even mora
bronzed than her husband, and
smiled happily at the warm wel
come accorded him. It was ".re
marked that the general's hair
had turned quite white.
The absence of military and
naval officers from the platform
was very noticeable. Altogether,
the general's welcome was by no
means in the nature of a popu
lar demonstration, and w lacked
genuine enthusiasm.
The murder of Mrs. Falzinger
was a brutal one , Her throat was
cut and her dead bodv was found
a few hours after the crime.
Eugene Bloch .was arrested: He
